Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

just a reminder to immigrants that if you shoot a ceo they will have to arrest you and go through the whole trial process.
This wasn't the plan all along? They were never going to throw away cheap labor, you idiots, they just wanted slaves.
Republicans are also open to shooting them, but baby steps here people.
The Nazis used gas because it was cheaper than bullets.
"Trump has said that he intends on making them work and when the day is over they should reflect on their actions, he wishes for them to concentrate on what it means to break the law."
"No one call it this, never in history, so I said why don't we call them Concentration Camps? They concentrate on the bad things they do and they Work. No one calls it this, why not? Work Camp, Concentration Camp. It will be a gas! Great stuff. Time said I'm the Best Person In The World. Concentration Camps make America great again!"
Concentration camps, again? Wasn't it fucked up enough last time? We still have American Citizens who remember being interred at them. Fucked up shit.
Well Texas already volunteered to donate land for Trump to build his first concentration camp so I mean, yeah, he's been open to the idea of using camps pretty openly for a while. Stephen Miller discussed it as an eventual necessity even earlier.
What do you call a camp where you put a concentration of people you find “undesirable?”
I'm pretty sure that already happens, Donald, you might as well talk about the dumbass wall again.
One of the things I find the most wild about this is that he's been a criminal his whole life, is now a convicted felon, and still tries to play the white knight of law and order.
We need to start countering the Rights propaganda before it's too late, spin their own words around and make going after immigrants looking for a better life the victims of a political witch hunt. Make them the people "treated so badly, perhaps the worst in history". It's the Billionaires weaponizing the DOJ against minorities and immigrants, the Billionaires have been living on Easy Street for decades.
Freedom is slavery.
"I hope we're not going to need too many because I want to get them out, and I don't want them sitting in camp for the next 20 years."
That's good to depend on identifying where they came from and getting some other country to take them. [Hint: most countries aren't going to want them.]
Trump emphasized he'd act "absolutely within the confines of the law."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He seemed to reject economists' view that deporting millions of migrant agricultural workers could trigger a spike in the price of goods, saying, "No, because we're going to let people in, but we have to let them in legally. We don't want people to come in from jails."
.... Hmm, that reads like he's going to take bribes from companies to bring in workers (maybe that $1B thing he was tweeting about covers this too), or even accept bribes from workers to come in.
I'm also willing to bet that at some point he's just going to declare victory: of, yeah, we got enough of them, scared them off, the ones that are left are the "good ones", the bad ones have been reported except for some that the Democrats wouldn't let us deport even though they're very evil people but don't worry, you're not supporting them, we're having them work for their room and board."
And the media will just report exactly what he claims with no fact-checking or pushback and his followers will believe him unreservedly.
"Open to"? It's the fucking plan.
